i can’t keep up with what’s been going down
i think my heart must just be slowing down
among the human beings
in their designer jeans
am i the only one who hears the screams
and the strangled cries of lawyers in love
god sends his spaceships to america the beautiful
they land at six o’clock and there we are the dutiful
eating from tv trays
tuned into happy days
waiting for world war iii while jesus slaves
to the mating calls of lawyers in love
last night i watched the news from washington the capital
the russians escaped while we weren’t watching them like russians will
now we’ve got all this room
we’ve even got the moon
and i hear the ussr will be open soon
as vacation land for lawyers in love
lawyers in love
lawyers in love
